🌟Our latest work published in @ScientificData today is the chromosome-scale genome assembly of wheat wild relative Aegilops mutica in collab with @sangerinstitute and @EarlhamInst Blast available at @GrainGenes ✅ nature.com/articles/s4159… @UoNresearch @UoNBiosciences @Notts_WRC
#NewArticle in @PlantBiotechJ In the recent review article, we discuss the advancement and prospects of various genomics-assisted breeding tools, including genome sequencing, QTL mapping, GWAS, GS, Haplotype-based breeding, pan-genomics, single-cell/tissue genomics and…
Wild plants can contribute valuable genes to their domesticated relatives. A research team led by the @LeibnizIPK constructed a pangenome of barley’s closest wild relative, Hordeum bulbosum. Results in @Nature. ➡️PR: tinyurl.com/45ysmkys ➡️Paper: tinyurl.com/msm4sudb
Incredible work and great presentation on Exploiting Wheat Wild Relative Genomics by @SurbhiG6 from @Notts_WRC Thanks for sharing your experience and suggestions to approach people. #Genomics #PlantScience #CropImprovement #Wheatbreeding
Looking forward to my visit @JohnInnesCentre today. If you're around pop in for the seminar I'm giving this afternoon.

Nottingham Wheat Research Centre pays tribute to Dr George Fedak (1940-2025). A distinguished scientist @AAFC_Canada, Dr Fedak made invaluable contributions to wheat research and resistance breeding with his use of wheat wild relative species. May he rest in peace.
You are interested in microscopy, histology, and image analysis to phenotype root anatomy? And you hold a MSc in plant science, crop science, biology, or related field? Then we have a great job offer! ➡️Read more: tinyurl.com/3m5c7chx
Finally: a durum wheat elite tolerant to Fusarium culmorum (Root Rot) 🍄🍄. The power 🔝of wild relatives with T. dicoccon packed in by Prof. S. "Xu" and "Jawahir" using T. Araraticum. The future for #dryland #farmers is bright😎 @CropTrust @a_bakinghouse @ICARDA @INRAMaroc
Great talks and lots of good opportunities for networking and collaboration. Very grateful to @BritishAcademy_ for funding this very fruitful trip to @LeibnizIPK and looking forward to visiting new friends in China! #Quedlinburg




Having a great time at the International workshop on wheat and barley research at @LeibnizIPK with participants from UK @Notts_WRC @JamesHuttonInst, Germany, China, Japan and Australia @MU_CCFI_Biotech

🌱 PhD Opportunity: Explore Belowground Plant Interactions for Sustainable Crop Protection (3-Year Position), See details at: wp.me/pbv48T-aWu
📢We are seeking TWO PhD candidates (fully funded)- one in Genomics and Pre-Breeding, and the other one in Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology. May we request you to please encourage high quality and passionate candidates- either Australian (preferred) or international…
Plant cells communicate information to regulate developmental processes and respond to environmental stresses. This communication spans various ‘omics’ layers within a cell and operates through intricate regulatory networks. In the recent article published in @TrendsinBiotech, we…
Exciting opportunity! We invite researchers under 40 to apply for the prestigious Carlotta Award. Showcase your work and gain recognition in the field. Apply now and advance the future of wheat research! 🌾 #WheatResearch #FSTP5 wheatinitiative.org/3rd-ca
NEW PhD opportunity - 2 May deadline. Niab & @plantsci announce a fully-funded, 4 year doctoral studentship, start date October 2025, funded by The Morley Agricultural Foundation (TMAF) niab.com/sites/default/… #plantsatcambridge #PhDposition #plantpathology
Another @MonogramUK conference, another lab coat label badge! Thanks to @DrAsh_G and the @ibers_aber team for delivering a fantastic conference. All your hard work paid off. See you @niabgroup for #monogram26 next year.
What a wonderful poem by @DonnisonClare on Jake’s talk on heat tolerance in Aegilops umbellulata @MonogramUK @ibers_aber @UoNBiosciences @UoNresearch @nottm_bbsrc_dtp @Notts_WRC @the_jake_hill
Well done @the_jake_hill on doing a great talk on heat tolerance in wheat wild relative Aegilops umbellulata. Now just have to write up your thesis! #Monogram25 @nottm_bbsrc_dtp @UoNBiosciences @Notts_WRC

It was my great pleasure to host @UoNBiosciences @Notts_WRC Dr Martin Mascher, Head of the Domestication Genomics group, @LeibnizIPK. Insightful and fruitful discussions and I think @UoNHounsfield really impressed him! Thanks @BritishAcademy_ for funding this collaborative visit.




Well done Jack!
Best Poster Award!🥇 Great job by Jack Walker on his poster presentation at #Monogram25 Supported by @UoNBiosciences @Notts_WRC @UoNresearch Proud supervisor 🥹 here.
My last day on the @MonogramUK committee. Thanks for a wonderful 4 years and looking forward to many more meetings. #Monogram25
